I have been intrigued by this book since it first started
showing up on people’s blogs and was mentioned everywhere. I really love the idea
behind it: Is there such a thing as a perfect proposal? I was a little scared to start reading this
as whenever there is a book which has received a lot of praise I worry that I
will be the one person that hates it. Well worry not, this book lives up to
every good review it has been given and all the praise it has received, it’s heartbreakingly
romantic and will take you on an emotional journey with two characters you know
belong together.
Suzie and Harry are best friends. Together they run thePerfectProposal.com a
website helping would be grooms to plan their perfect proposal. One day Harry
asks Suzie what her perfect proposal would be, when she draws a blank, Harry embarks
on a mission to find Suzie’s perfect proposal. He decides to do one hundred
different proposals over one hundred days.
What is obvious from the very beginning is Suzie is madly in
love with Harry and has been ever since they first met. Their friendship goes way beyond the
boundaries of a normal male/female friendship, they sleep in the same bed, they’ve
seen each other naked, and they know almost everything there is to know about
each other. She doesn’t want to tell him how she feels as she doesn’t want to
lose his friendship. He’s been her rock since her brother Jack died from cancer
and she’s not sure what she would do without him. So the idea of having to
watch the man she loves propose to her each day just for research is heart-breaking.
Remembering to say no each time Harry asks “Marry Me?” almost pushes Suzie to
the edge.
The romance between these two is so beautiful because it
seems so real, how many men would you let see you wear a cow suit onesie? Not
so many I’m sure. As they start their daily routine of the proposals you so
want Suzie to say “yes” every time, however there’s always something holding
her back or some mishap which gets in the way and all this just adds to the
beauty of this story.
Harry and Suzie are both characters which you will adore
instantly. Harry is so kind, funny and really hot that you just can’t help but
fall in love with him. I loved the way he would just drop everything and go
running to Suzie no matter what time of day it was, how can you not want a man
like that? Suzie is a lovely down to
earth character, I love the way that she will let Harry see her when she is a
total mess with no make-up on and those pj’s you hide from everyone, I love the
way she is a little clumsy and has a habit of falling over at totally the wrong
time. These two are just so at ease with each that they need to be together and
when the tension between them begins to build I guarantee the only thought
running through your head will be “just tell him how you feel!”
Although it seems obvious how the story will end you will be
on tenterhooks throughout this book as these two never quite manage to make
their true feelings known and you are almost left wondering if they actually will.
This book had me laughing, crying and
shouting because I was so frustrated; it is a truly wonderful romantic book
which will take you on a journey that you will not want to end.
Rating 5/5
